Decarbonising healthcare in low and middle income countries: potential pathways to net zero emissions
BMJ
[Joint 1st Author],Healthcare in low and middle-income countries has a high carbon footprint. Reducing emissions should be integral to plans for universal health coverage.
Considerable attention has been paid to the role that healthcare systems have in combating climate change.1 Recent analysis has calculated the global carbon footprint of healthcare as equivalent to 2-2.4 Gt of CO2, about 4-5% of total global emissions.

Considerable attention has been paid to the role that healthcare systems have in combating climate change.1 Recent analysis has calculated the global carbon footprint of healthcare as equivalent to 2-2.4 Gt of CO2, about 4-5% of total global emissions.
The focus is often on reducing emissions in high-income countries (HICs) and adaptation in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Few LMICs are included in studies on carbon emissions from healthcare.
This imbalance is understandable, given the greater relative contribution to greenhouse gas emissions from health systems in HICs and the disproportionate burden of climate change impacts on LMICs. Nevertheless, healthcare in LMICs is a carbon-intensive activity and is likely to grow with the delivery of commitments to universal health coverage (UN Sustainable Development Goal 3.8).Other authorsSee publication -

adaptation platforms at other levels of governance.
The need for such a platform was recognised in the 2013 EU strategy on adaptation to climate change or adaptation strategy, which is being evaluated by the European Commission in 2017-2018, as a key element of better informed decision-making that should be developed further.
The objectives of Climate-ADAPT are (1) to facilitate the collection, sharing and use of information on climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation, and build a consistent and updated knowledge base; (2) to assist the effective uptake of the relevant knowledge by decision-makers; and (3) to contribute to a greater level of coordination among sectors and institutional levels. -
Supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals: reconceptualising a ‘sustainable development assessment tool’ for the health and care system in England

User/expert involvement has enabled an informed approach to a reconceptualisation of a sustainable assessment tool for health and care settings. The tool will support organisations to build their mandatory Sustainable Development Management Plans, as part of the National Public Health Outcomes Framework. Alignment of the tool to the UN’s SDGs provides an opportunity for health and care organisations to demonstrate accountability and progress against the UN’s set of transformational goals. Furthermore, the tool could be adapted to other public service providers. -

The importance of partnerships between business schools, local companies and other organisations has grown in recent years and is the basis of Principle 5 (Partnerships) of the United Nations’ (UN) Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). This chapter offers a replicable model that other business schools and universities could integrate into their core curriculum while also enriching their educational methods (PRME Principle 3). The focus of the described Greenhouse Gas Management project is on the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #13 (Climate Action), but the partnership model could also be used to address other SDGs. The model is based on the assumption that students can contribute to solving sustainable challenges. Instead of learning frameworks for later use in life, students directly apply the concepts they encounter in a real-life business. In this chapter, the deployment of such work-based learning in the core curriculum at Nottingham Business School is described, along with details of how this aids the development of employability skills of the participating students

This report is the first in a series of annual publications from the SDU looking at progress of sustainable development across the health and care system.
Summary of findings
Overall organisations are cutting their carbon footprint and saving money through reducing energy use, but having less success in addressing water use and the increased costs from waste disposal. Progress in sustainable approaches to commissioning, procurement and across the social care sector is more difficult to measure and more needs to be done in this area. Sustainable development is increasingly becoming a core part of work. More organisations have board approved Sustainable Development Management Plans (SDMPs) and are reporting annually on their work.
National Organisation Commitments
The report also includes - for the first time - commitments from nine major health organisations to deliver an environmentally and socially care system. The national organisations making their pledges are the Department of Health, NHS England, Public Health England (PHE), NHS Improvement, the Care Quality Commission, Health Education England, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), NHS Digital and NHS Property Services – in partnership with the Department of Health. -

NHS East Midlands Carbon Reduction Project- Footprint, Analysis and Recommendations
NEP
The first carbon footprint for any NHS region in the UK
This report has identified a baseline regional carbon footprint for the East Midlands using bottom-up Trust level data to complement the national footprint produced by the NHS Sustainable Development Unit.
The footprint for 07/08 has been calculated as 967,900 tonnes CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) and for 08/09 as 1,070,000 tCO2e. The 07/08 footprint represented around 5% of the national NHS carbon footprint. By comparison, around 8% of the…The first carbon footprint for any NHS region in the UK
This report has identified a baseline regional carbon footprint for the East Midlands using bottom-up Trust level data to complement the national footprint produced by the NHS Sustainable Development Unit.
The footprint for 07/08 has been calculated as 967,900 tonnes CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) and for 08/09 as 1,070,000 tCO2e. The 07/08 footprint represented around 5% of the national NHS carbon footprint. By comparison, around 8% of the national NHS budget (including salaries) was spent in the East Midlands in 07/08.
While the national footprint was based largely on 07/08 financial data, it has been found however that to produce a bottom-up footprint from NHS organizations data, the 07/08 data was not of sufficiently good quality to produce a reliable footprint, so the 08/09 footprint is recommended as a better representation of the regional baseline.
In general, the spread of the region's CO2e emissions across emissions areas is broadly in line with the spread shown at the national level. Buildings emissions in the region however show a higher prominence than the national picture reflecting a higher than typical coal consumption in NHS organizations in the region. Coal accounts for 15% of the region's waste and utility-related emissions. These emissions are focussed on a small number of large coal-fired heat plants. Working to reduce the NHS use of coal in the region is thus covered in one of the recommended regional Phase II pilot projects.
While the regional picture produces some useful results in itself, this work has drilled down further to an organization by organization and site by site analysis, to identify hotspots and areas for future work within NHS organizations. The level of data within the report should be of use to individual NHS organizations in this regard. -

It also looked at the impact that leaving the EU will have on the UK’s international agreements, such as the Montreal Protocol and the Kigali Amendment, which seek to combat F-gas emissions
The second panel concentrated on the issues surrounding a move from Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs), which contain F-gases with a high global warming potential (GWP), to lower GWP alternatives.
Millions of MDIs are prescribed each year for a range of respiratory conditions and have been identified by the NHS as representing a carbon ‘hot spot’. The Committee is interested in this as a good example of an area where progress on reducing F-gas emissions can be made. -

We initially developed a quick wins estates investment and carbon reduction plan from site surveys, this was approved and delivered. We then went on to develop the first full scope 1,2 and 3 carbon footprints for any NHS Trusts in the UK. We continued to work with the 2 trusts throughout programme delivery until April 2012. To date both Trusts have achieved 25% cuts in CO2 emissions, saved up to £800k per year in natural resource costs, achieved recycling rates of over 85% and installed in excess of 20 solar panel systems. In 2011 The Trusts and NEP were awarded the Global British Medical Journal award for 'Sustainable Healthcare' for this project and our long term public health partnership. I and my team continued to provide transitional support to the 2 Trusts as they handed over their commissioning activities, estate and staff to the new NHS commissioning and primary care structures.

The Nottingham City 2020 Energy Strategy
-
In 2010 I was commissioned to research and develop the 2020 energy strategy for the City of Nottingham. The strategy lays out the way in which the city can achieve 20% local energy generation from low or zero carbon sources, a 26% cut in CO2e emissions on 2008 (51% on 1990). The strategy is also aligned with the UK carbon budgeting periods, the UK target of 12% of heat from renewables and 2% of electricity from micro-generation.
